Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy following recent infection by Coxsackie virus. Case:A 30-year-old female presented with metamorphopsia and central scotoma in the left eye since 4 days before. Her son had suffered from fever and eruption in the hand and foot 2 weeks before. She had pain in the pharynx and swelling of the tonsils. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was 1.5 right and 0.2 left. The left eye showed depigmentation in the fovea surrounded by ring of opaque retina. Fluorescein angiography showed hyperfluorescence in the fovea. Fundus autofluorescence showed dark fovea surrounded by a hyperfluorescent ring. Optical coherence tomography(OCT)showed attenuation of retinal pigment epithelium and disrupted inner/outer segment junction of photoreceptor cells. Titer for Coxsackie virus in the circulating blood showed 128×for type A10 and 32×for type 32. The findings led to the diagnosis of unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy following recent infection by Coxsackie virus. The patient refused systemic corticosteroid since she was breast-feeding. Visual acuity improved to 1.0 4 months later leaving minor pigment irregularity in the macula. Optical coherence tomography showed almost normal findings. Conclusion:This case illustrates that infection by Coxsackie virus may induce unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy. OCT and fundus autofluorescence may be useful in the diagnosis.
